Ahead of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Team GB hopeful Fiona Hughes explains the basics of Cross Country Skiing.

Hughes explains the different types of events across gender groups, including variations in distances, steepness of tracks and skiing material used.

Finally, she gives some interesting insight on the problems Team GB face when training outside the winter season, and how the team adapts to those challenges.
